Have you ever met those innovative and creative types, whose intention is to be vocal, raise energy and spread ideas? They can sometimes be draining. It's not that they think their ideas are better, perhaps they just like hearing their own voice. But eventually patterns emerge whereby they do all the talking, and we end up chasing their ideas that go nowhere.

On February 24, 2017, I am a motivational speaker for the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association AGM. The event, held at the Delta South Calgary Hotel will attract over 100 veterinarians and technologists.

Have you created staff engagement programs that show little or no improvement? Employee engagement is key to productivity, customer service, morale and so much more. It is the area where so many company cultures fall through.

I thought it would be a lot harder. I recently disconnected my home/ office phone line because I can do everything I need with my cell phone. In fact, it's cheaper and more convenient, and it's made my life a lot easier. I often drag myself kicking and screaming into new technology offers, only to find they radically improve my life.
